Just as the surroundings beca pin-drop silent, and no one present knew what to do, at least the knight trip didn't have the guts to be causal with Myne anymore after feeling his dark aura, suddenly Myne saw Sylphy walking toward them from the corner of his eye, along with a man and woman in their late twenties. Breathing a sigh of relief, he looked at her with a smile.
"Lord Husband, Mother, why are you two running around carelessly as if you've co to soone else's party for fun? I'm looking for you two everywhere... lissa? What are you doing here? Did you finally decide to leave the army?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, seems like our little princess has forgotten soone after getting a husband," Gantz said, making a sad face while patting Gale's shoulder and sighing heavily. It seed he had a good relationship with Sylphy, so much so that he could even overco his fear, he is indeed a carefree guy.
"Co on, Uncle Gantz, you don't have to make fun of ! You don't think I could miss such a huge bear-like body of yours, right?" Sylphy chuckled and shook her head with a smile.
"Your Highness Sylphid, Uncle Gantz and I are now working under Captain Gale, so please take care of us in the future," lissa said, bowing slightly, while Gantz only laughed heartily. He had trained Sylphy since her childhood and could consider her master, so naturally, he had a close relationship with her and didn't care about formalities.
"By the way, Sylphy, why don't you introduce those two behind you to us? I'm afraid if we continue ignoring them, they might sweat to death," Myne said worriedly, watching two similar-looking individuals, a man and a woman, about 28 years old, with black hair, brown eyes, and white skin. They both had good appearances, wore nice clothes, and were well-mannered; they didn't look like commoners.
"Aah, sorry, I forgot about them. These two are the newly assigned civil officials for our clan. Lewis personally selected them for us after conducting a dozen tests and confirming that they are fully qualified to handle clan affairs."
After Sylphy introduced them, the two stepped forward awkwardly and bowed to everyone. Perhaps they were too nervous; they were sweating buckets as if they weren't dealing with humans but monsters.
"Nice to et you, everyone. We are the civil officials of your clan, please take care of us. My na is Leon Iczer, and this is my sister, Mira Iczer."
It was the brother who took the initiative to introduce himself and his sister, who seed a bit shy and only nodded without saying anything.
"As you can tell, they're both twins. Leon is the brother, and Mira is the sister..."
Seeing that they were too nervous to talk properly, Sylphy began explaining their background. They had lived in a town further north of the Kingdom, called Brine.
Their house, the Iczer family, was middle-class aristocratic, and they had been receiving high acclaim from the Royal Family, which helped build their reputation. However, Leon and Mira were the third and fourth sons and daughters of the family, so it wasn't possible for them to inherit the family. Thus, they were sent off to a relative of the Iczer family, who were all rchants. While they were there, both of them studied seriously to help out as much as they could.
Occasionally, Captain Gale's wife would go in and out of the rchant's house since she had a good friendship with the rchant's wife, so she knew about them as well as how hard they both worked. Even if they were nobles, they weren't arrogant or wasteful; instead, they were willing to work hard for a better future, which earned them a good reputation, leading their information to reach Gale's ear.
Gale, who heard the story, secretly confird the two of them, and after judging their personality and work efficiency, decided to recomnd them to Lewis.
"Do they both know about Amy's situation?" Myne asked curiously. After all, at the end of the day, all of this ss was because of Amy, the supposed last elf. Otherwise, how could his cheap father-in-law give them this kind of premium service package at the start of the clan opening without asking for anything in return?
"Yes, they know. Don't worry, I'm sure they won't tell anyone, and even if they do, it doesn't matter much," Sylphy said casually, not taking Amy's secret seriously.
She had been observing Amy during the past few months; although Amy spent most of her ti with her alchemy, she also squeezed in a few hours for training. Sylphy had personally experienced Amy's growth and had to say that the elf race was a bit too "cheat" when it ca to mana comparison. No matter how carelessly Amy used mana, Sylphy had never seen her run out of it. First Myne, and now her, it is a bit too much, she can't understand why those two bastards have mana, that seems never to finish.
"With this, everyone from the Elysium Seekers has gathered!" Ayri, who also joined them, spoke excitedly.
Gale, Gantz, and lissa were more of Amy's secret guards and weren't really part of their clan. However, under the temptation of money and Garnet's direct order and assurance, they, after a few minutes of hesitation, unofficially beca clan guards.
Gale had also seen Amy's strength during practice once, so he also knew that he was no match for her, and if one day she was really in danger, there wasn't much he could do. So, instead of taking a salary from two places without doing anything, he was more than willing to beco a clan guard and maintain its security.
This way, even before the clan started, quite a few people had already joined, like:
Myne
Sylphid
Aisha
Amy
Ayri
June
Garnet
Waffle
Ocea
Ted
Gale
Gantz
lissa
Leon
Mira.
There are also so about whom Myne hasn't told others. They are waiting for him to bring them into his clan so they don't have to live in a hotel anymore. These include Velvet, his third wife, about whom he has told no one else.
Gwen, his half-succubus girlfriend, and her mother, Fiora, are staying right next door to Velvet. There is also his fifth wife, Hanaha, the first one to get pregnant with his child and she is currently in her third month. Although he doesn't plan to let her join since she also has to take care of her other children, he doesn't mind giving his stepsons and daughters a job if they want.
"Lord Myne, Prince Lewis has asked for you to gather in front of the clan entrance as the ceremony is about to start."
While they were talking, a guard ca to them and gave them Lewis's ssage.
They didn't waste ti and quickly walked toward the clan's main door, where many people had gathered. In front of a nice-looking podium, the town mayor was giving speeches with a super excited face. He looked happier than Myne as if it was his clan that was starting, not Myne's.
"...In conclusion, the place that we're living in right now, Lucas Town, has officially given birth to a new Clan: The Elysium Seekers. I'd love for everyone here today to please rember this na. Just the other day, we witnessed a wedding ceremony belonging to Her Highness Sylphid and the forr Guild Receptionist, Aisha, which had its problems as well... However, these are the things that we, as the residents of Lucas Town, need to know about..."
"What the hell is this fatty talking about? What problem do you have?" Myne leaned against Aisha and whispered with a frown.
"How would I know? Just listen; he doesn't seem to have finished," Aisha hit Myne with her elbow as she wanted to hear the fatty mayor's speech. If he didn't clear things up, she would definitely pay him a visit after the ceremony and make sure he couldn't walk ho on his own feet.
The Mayor's speech continued.
"Heed my words, everyone here today. The representative of this Clan isn't actually Her Highness Sylphid, who brought it a lot of fa and wealth. That's right, the representative of the Clan is none other than the husband of Her Highness Sylphid and Aisha, Myne."
"Does everyone know about Myne? To us, the residents of Lucas Town, he is a hero. The child who was left behind by Dyne and Yukino, two benefactors of the town and our dear neighbours. And their child, Myne, whom we saw growing up right before our eyes, is the representative of this clan. Thus, let us bless him from the bottom of our hearts!"
The citizens of the town, hearing the mayor's speech, all cheered at once with full excitent. But the person receiving the blessing just wanted to die.
Myne could swear on the na of his dead parents that if he had known the fatty mayor was going to humiliate him with such a shaful speech just to increase his town's reputation in front of outsiders and nobles, even dragging his parents into it, he would have hypnotized him and forced him to write sothing good. But sadly, now he could do nothing but give all the people looking in his direction a forced smile.
